Endoscopic Retrieval of an Oesophageal Foreign Body (Coin) in a 5-Year-Old Child: A Case Report

Abstract

Foreign body ingestion is a common pediatric emergency, and coins are frequently encountered objects. This case report describes the successful endoscopic removal of a coin lodged in the mid-esophagus of a 5-year-old child. The clinical presentation, diagnostic approach, endoscopic intervention, and post-procedural outcomes are discussed. Emphasizing the importance of prompt intervention, this report contributes to the literature on the endoscopic management of esophageal foreign bodies in pediatric patients.
